Handel in Edinburgh December

Just seen that restrictions of the bridge will soon be partly lifted

so there may not be a problem.

You're so kind Elegran to offer us shared accommodation. Not sure yet what Marelli and I are going to get up to. Do you know when the production finishes? think that'll help us make a decision. Looking forward to my night in the beautiful City of Edinburgh and meeting all you fabulous girls.

Well, I still have a sofabed for two, plus half my double and half the double that thatbags will be sleeping in that night (that is if Bags would be OK sharing) and you can go home next day, or stay another night if you want to shop. The trains will presumable be crowded, but booking a seat early would fix that. The lift home from the theatre can be taxi or a bus.

Don't panic!

I'm in a pickle! How are we meant to get home now seeing as the bridge will be closed and my DH says to take the Kincarden road will cause him no end of delay. Those who were promised a lift from home from the theatre will also be in a pickle. Any suggestions you lovely people all ideas will be greatly welcomed.

Both sets of tickets, the original lot with the payment receipt, and the second lot have now arrived by post, a couple of days apart. Goodness knows where the original lot have been all this time!

It would have been great to have you with us, Katek. Sorry we missed you after the ROSL lunch last week. We had to hurry to catch our bus home. However, I hear you had a very good catch-up with Elegran !

Eeek indeed!

I had a kind of missing ticket incident this week too.

In about February of this year I booked tickets for an event at the beginning of December then promptly forgot about it. At the weekend the subject came up in conversation and I realised I'd never received the tickets. Cue phone call to Ticketmaster and after a very long inquisition (I couldn't remember which card is used to pay) the person told me she would email them to me within two hours.
Two days later - still no email. Another call, much shorter this time thankfully, resulted in success.

Here's hoping the first two emails just disappeared into the ether and that there aren't duplicate tickets in someone's possesion.

Wish I could have come but it's a loooong way plus hotel makes it bit pricey. I'll probably still be prostrate after doing panto for a week anyway!! Hope you all have lovely evening.

Well, if someone's sitting in oor seats when we get there, bags, they'll be getting the 'bum's rush'!

Just had a wee panic about the tickets which haven't arrived yet! Phoned the box office and they said they were posted on 27 Oct!! They are going to print some more and post them today.

Eek.

Thanks Elegran xx

Bump for GeminiJen

Excellent. Thanks, elegran.

Thanks for doing that, Elegran.

That is booked.

5.15 ish perhaps - eating at 5.30 - finish meal around 6.15 ish

Yes, I'll do that tomorrow morning. Any opinions on what time we should book for? It won't be a long blethery meal like some if we've to scoot alomng to the Queens Hall for 7 (unless we start eating early)

Very happy with that, bags.

Rig*a*toni's

Just googled: Rigstoni's is one minute's walkaway from Queen's Hall

It's not a big place so we would have to book. If the others agree, could you maybe do that, please, elegran?

Rigatoni's is on Clerk Street, though I don't know how close to the Queen's Hall. We ate there after watching DD diving and it was very good. They fitted us in before a booking. Very efficient and the food excellent.

Send me details too. I don't know the noshing places in that area about that time, but it is student-land so there will be plenty. DS lives in that direction so I can ask him, if you like.

Done. Have pm-ed details

Are we meeting up for some nosh beforehand?

elizabeth1, that's very kind of your DH. I'd love to take him up on the offer of a lift to the station afterwards.

Looking forward to seeing you all again. bags you can pm me your bank details and I'll transfer £20 into your account if you like.
